MY STORY
Natural Leadership | Evolutionary Psychology | Wild Horses
Hi, I’m Britta, and probably like you, I’ve always wanted to communicate with my horse peacefully and naturally, just like with my best friend. This led me on a journey away from trying to create an obedient horse, towards a completely natural way of interaction.

Now, I’d love to share this with you through Being Herd.
